Dozens killed as floods sweep Venezuelan Andes
Dozens confirmed dead and many missing after torrential rains trigger floods and landslides in Venezuela and Colombia. In Venezuela’s Andes, towns were buried in mud as the Macoties River overflowed, destroying crops and a chicken farm. Rescue operations, including military helicopters, offered aid to evacuated residents amid rising poverty forecasts. Carlos Alfonso Molina, a 28 year old bus driver, remained missing after his route vanished in the floodwaters near Santa Cruz de Mora. His brother Hilbert described a long search and a partially submerged bus found by a river. Officials warned the death toll could rise as access to isolated areas remains difficult and thousands fled their homes.
